SABnzbd Forums

Every time I pause an individual download item in the queue the connections to my server are all closed. So far, so good. But when I try to resume the download (clicking the pause icon left of the download item in the queue) nothing happens. The icon changes back to "Play" but in "Config" I can see that no connections are open. Sometimes after a long pause sabnzbd continues to download but most of the time I just restart the program and the download resumes.

Is this a known problem and can it be fixed by some setting? Or am I the only one experiencing this?

Thanks for any help!

First of all SABnzbd does not close connections when pausing individual jobs.
Only doing an overall pause will break connections (unless you set otherwise in Config->Switches).
What may happen is that the server breaks connections due to inactivity.
Set log level to debug and see what's in the logfile.
Watch for disconnect message.
How long does it take before the connections are closed.
You also must realize the difference between individual pauses and the overall pause.

Thanks for your answer! So for me the best solution is to just use "overall pause". This way sabnzbd disconnects and reconnects itself and I am not dependent on any server timeout. I've just tried it and overall pause works as you described.
